Beyond delighted to announce that I'm now represented by Ciara Finan at Curtis Brown @curtisbrownltd.bsky.social! This is an absolute dream come true for me, and I'm so excited to start working with her!

I asked this once on the other site and got a good response, so here goes again:

Historians, what is the thing that made you go โ€˜wait, wut?โ€™ in the archives or in your research?

As one of the folks organising this, please do share with anyone you think would be interested - our focus for this event on 'Teaching in a Time of Crisis' is unfortunately becoming even more relevant with each passing day

Uni staff told in video call 400 jobs could go to save ยฃ20m More than a quarter of jobs at a university could be slashed in a bid to save ยฃ20 million, KentOnline can reveal.

Another day, another university in crisis. This time it's Canterbury Christ Church, to lose say 400 jobs and over a quarter of posts. The reality of what is happening in UK Higher Education - and even worse, what is about to happen - is crushing. I'm so sorry. www.kentonline.co.uk/canterbury/n...

I'm very excited to share the programme for our conference on Malcolm X's visit to Smethwick in 1965. This was a huge event in modern British history, but is not as well-known or well-understood as it should be. Please come along on Saturday 8th Feb 2025 to learn more!

It may change because of the state of the other place, but my last post is a sign of how little I've been on here because I ran this seminar again today...

Recently enjoyed a couple of hours discussing Kennetta Hammond Perry's excellent 'London is the Place for Me' with some of our MA students - always enjoy returning to this brilliant book!
